[p001]

Woman: Wh...

(below panel): IRON KNIGHT

Kikuta: ...Hm? I'm sure I aimed for your vitals.Kikuta: Did you react to the sound of the gun cocking dodge? Amazing...Kikuta: To think there's really someone capable of that!

Woman: What the hell are you doing!!Woman: Drop your weapon, Kikuta!!

(left): The young leader does a 180?! Is the rescue operation a failure?!

[p002]

Kikuta: Haha!Kikuta: When you say that sorta thing, you have to fire whether you want to or not, y'know!Kikuta: But you guys just can't make a move when it really counts, huh.(bottom right):IRON KNIGHTChapter 10: The Mega-Eye

(right): With that smile, it's impossible to tell...!!

Matsuno: Eh...?Matsuno: Wh...Matsuno: Just what's...

(below panel): Yagi Tomohiro

[p003]

Woman: Matsuno!!

Kikuta: If I concentrate on controlling them, I can make then carry out some pretty precise movements.Kikuta: It's even enough for sniping.

Kikuta: Oh, this is supposed to be a secret, but apparently Matsuno likes you, Takemura.Kikuta: I heard about it in last year's camp.Kikuta: Well, you're the most beautiful woman in our unit, after all.

Take: Kh!!

Kikuta: Hahaha.Kikuta: Like you're really gonna be able to escape.Kikuta: I mean, just how many eyes do you think I have?

Kikuta: If I'd been able to plant an eye on that kid, it would've been a real windfall, too...Kikuta: Well, nothing I can do about it now.Saku: Hey.

Saku: What have you done. I demand an explanation.

Kikuta: Sakurayama-san, you must have expected that I'm either Kikuta: sending messages to the goblin soldiers via my ability or manipulating them directly.Kikuta: You'd be correct on both accounts.

Kikuta: Just as you thought, when I want one to move, I take over its mind and manipulate it.Kikuta: When I'm moving a group of them, I let them stay half-autonomous and send orders to their brains individually.Kikuta: Occasionally, there are those who give me trouble by not listening.

Kikuta: The awkwardness of that behavior in the battles thus far was what tipped you off, huh.Kikuta: As expected of our commander.Kikuta: But there was just one thing you overlooked in your speculations.

[p006]

Kikuta: Back then, the three-eyes' real body wasn't in the base.Kikuta: It was right in front of you.

Saku: ...What reason did you have for killing thousands of civilians...Saku: Just what were you thinking when you killed my troops one after another...

Kikuta: It was like my wish had been granted!Kikuta: I chose this line of work because I wanted to get involved in warfare!

[p007]

Kikuta: But in reality, there weren't any battles like that,Kikuta: and all we did was train in a peaceful society...Kikuta: That's why the world becoming like this made me so incredibly happy!

Kikuta: It was really fun, being able to fight against people like Sakurayama-san.sfx bubble: SnapKikuta: I'm truly glad I became a goblin!

Kikuta: It's just, well...Kikuta: this power gave me a bit too much of an edge when we're fighting on even ground.

[p008]

Soldier: Commander!!Soldier: A large force of goblins is coming this way!!Soldier: They have us surrounded!!

Saku: All personnel, prepare for battle.Saku: We're under siege. Fortify all entrances and exits.

Saku: ...You could have crushed this place at any time.Saku: Did you leave it standing all because you wanted to play this game of war with me?

Kikuta: I'm not playing with you at all, Sakurayama-san.Kikuta: You had nothing to defend yourselves against, so I've only given you something to fight.

Kikuta: And even though it's thanks to Teppei that you finally put things in motion this time, Kikuta: with the operation a failure, you won't be evacuating this town anymore, now will you you?Kikuta: Didn't turn out how you planned, did it! C'mon, let's have at it until only one man's left standing!

[p009]

Saku: Stop screwing around, you damned lowlife!!

sfx bubble: Brrt

Kikuta: Uhaha!Kikuta: I haven't gotten yelled at like that in a while!Kikuta: That guy really is frigging scary!

Soldier: All civilians, get back!!Soldier: Even if it's crowded, move further in!!

Kazu: Urg!!Kazu: It's cramped!!

[p011]

sfx bubble: Kachak

Goblin: Goh.

Kikuta: Ooh!Kikuta: As expected of the commander!

Kikuta: Then I'll do it, too!sfx bubble: Peeksfx bubble: Twist

[p012]

Saku: Agh!!

Saku: ...Kh!!

Soldiers: GUAAAH!!

[p013]

Kikuta: Thanks for everything, Sakurayama-san.

Kikuta: Goodbye.

Kikuta: Ah!Kikuta: Dammit, I was too focused on one thing again!Kikuta: I completely forgot about that guy!

[p014/015]

Saku: You're late...!Saku: I told you to come back here immediately if anything should happen...

Teppei: Commander...

Soldier: Commander!! Your wound!!Saku: Before worrying about me, get the civilians out of here as quickly as possible.Saku: They'll all suffocate in this fire...

[p016]

Saku: That damned brat...Saku: If you're going to take me out, do it in one shot...

Saku: Well, kid?Saku: Seeing this situation,Saku: are you still gonna keep up that childish hero act?

Teppei: I will.Teppei: I'll keep at it until the day I die.

Teppei: To all of you, it might look like a game of make-believe, butTeppei: someday, I'll become the real deal and take back our town.Teppei: Until then, I'll continue to fight.

[p017]

Teppei: No matter how badly I'm beaten up,Teppei: or how exhausted I get,Teppei: I will protect everyone until my life burns out.

Saku: ...To hear such a thing from a kid...!Saku: ...I think I'm going to be sick...Saku: What a disgrace...

Saku: I'm loath to admit it, butSaku: you are the only one who can do something with things as they are now.Saku: There's nothing weaker than a brash fool, butSaku: I don't think we can win against a foolish opponent who's out of his mind.

[p018]

Saku: Only a fool can win against another fool...!!

Saku: The general of that sickening eyeball army is acting like a bigshot.Saku: Beat the hell out of that piece of trash!!Saku: That is the only thing you can do to ensure the survival of the civilians both here and in the base...!

Saku: That battle maniac is undoubtedly waiting for you.Saku: Go and settle this...!!

[p019]

Saku: ...In the army, units tasked with missions of defense often adhere to the chivalric code of "knights."Saku: Since you're fighting to protect people,Saku: that makes you a knight...!!
